Everybody want's to copmlain.
Everybody is a great driver. There are no careless or stupid drivers on the roads. There are no car accidents. I wish these statements were true. Unfortunately, 90% of people that drive don't know how to. Of course, 90% of drivers also think Mario Andretti could learn a few things from them. Idiots.
I am a competent driver. I have never had an accident. If I do have an accident, it will be caused by someone else. It's much more important for me to protect my family. If that means driving a four ton monster, fine. Then, when that 16 year old racer-boy runs a red light in his Neon and hits me, my family will be safe. To be perfectly blunt, I could not care less what happens to him.
Yes, there are plenty of soccer-moms driving huge cars they don't need. There are also plenty of half-blind old people driving huge Cadillacs. They are much, much more dangerous than any soccer mom. I haven't heard a single person complainabout those huge gas-guzzling Caddys. Get them of the road. Do you know whyold people drive Caddys? The elderly have the benefit of wisdom from many years of life. So what do they do? They know they'll probably cause an accident, so they make sure they drive a tank so they won't get hurt. I need some defense from them. I'll take an Excursion, and super-size it.
